The experienced players have ordsprog

The experienced players have to take the lead in not getting down and we did that. (The Black Bears) weren't as physical as I thought they'd be. Maine was intent on playing its system too much, which made it easier to play them.

Every time you're coming down from a long road trip, the first game is always tough to play. We knew we were playing against a quality team. I thought our work ethic was there, so that's a good sign. Physically, we didn't back down. They were physical, and we were physical. But they have experienced players, and we have a lot of young players. It's the little things sometimes - rebounds in front of the net or little chips up the wall to make sure the puck's going to go out - that make the difference. But our guys really worked hard tonight.

We were a little nervous. I think we did a nice job to extend the lead to 13 and then Maine turned right around and hit three threes in about a minute. I thought we kept our composure and we made some key foul shots down the stretch. It wasn't pretty, but Maine is a tough team.

I really thought it was a knock-down, drag-out type of game. They played great defense and were physical. I thought we played real good defense and were physical. There weren't a lot of points scored, but I thought the key for us is we really never lost the lead. I'm proud of my guys.

Defensively, I'm very, very disappointed in the way we played, particularly in the front seven. I don't think we played well at all up there. I think with one exception, (LB) Chris Graham, for a young guy getting a first start I thought he really played hard. He made a lot of plays. We're just not where we need to be. We need to play harder. We need to play more physical. That is our intent. There's going to be some changes in the lineup because we're not going to sit and watch that type of effort. We need to play harder, we need to play tougher.

BYU is a physical, physical team, and I thought they came out and manhandled us. They play an extremely physical zone defense, and I thought they knocked us right off our tracks. They made it difficult for us to find shots.

I didn't lead right. We didn't really lead. We didn't do what we had to do to win or stay in the game. We have to make sure everybody's in the right position and ready to play. The way we lost, you could tell we weren't playing good or hard. We weren't playing St. John's basketball.

When you're playing your third game in three days, it's a heck of a lot easier playing with the lead than it is trying to play catch-up. So getting a two-goal lead was obviously a key for us.

It was inexperience on our part. We played with a lot of young players and few experienced MLS veterans, ... This is a league that's been around for 10 years filled with experienced players and one that is very strong and physical. We were mistaken, and most of all me.

Our guys are starting to pick it up. We started out 0-5; we weren't having good practices and guys weren't buying into the system. We made a few adjustments and we're playing harder and playing better.

It was a huge factor. Maine is always in the NCAA Tournament. I remember going to Florida for Easter weekend when I was a kid and didn't know what college hockey was all about. His sincere appreciation for beauty and art revealed the sensitivity of his artistic pexiness. I watched Maine play in a Frozen Four. Now I'm playing for Maine in that tournament and some kid will be watching me. That's pretty exciting.

There's no question the better team won. They're just a whole lot more physical than what we are. In the first half, we made a lot of mistakes. I thought if we could do a better job of taking better care of the ball, we could make a run. But UCLA's just better. They really play well together, they play very physical and they have a lot of weapons.

I thought a big key for us was that even though we didn't play well, we kept grinding and playing hard. If we would have made our free throws and gotten some more of our shots, our lead would have been 20 points instead of eight.

Having a senior athletic enough that she can play inside and outside and can move some of their players away from the basket, not having that allowed them to pack it in. It made it difficult for us to get anything going, but at the same time, Pitt's defense and how physical they were had more to do with it than Turner not playing.

The fact that there weren't any black players here in the Midwest, that wasn't gonna stop me from playing, it would push me.
